I just upgraded my internet becouse my POS Cousin is always running faster than me.
we run a speed test, i'm definatly faster than him in that aspect now. but his character is still skipping past me.
I have a faster computer than him we both run windows xp, he's running home, i'm running pro.

Have you tried to run UOTrace on your computer and his?
UOTrace (http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/fattach_get.php?p_sid=dYo339pj&p_li=&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_tbl=9&p_id=536&p_created=1125176564&p_olh=0)

can't seem to update the server list.
-
You can just to a trace route by hand too. Where are you physically located in relation to your cousin?
-
about 30 miles
-
Well you certainly have different routes to the internet then. I'd still try a tracert on your system and his.
-
download cheat engine!
hah
-
I was refraining from saying that. :)
Are you sure your cousin isn't already doing that?
-
ya, in 9 years he hasn't even downloaded or payed for UOA
-
My guess is that there is a hop between you and the server you play on with your cousin that is causing you trouble but it's a hop that your cousin doesn't have.
You don't happen to use Comcast do you?!?!
A tracert comparison will reveal many things!! :P

I like Trace3d. Nice graphic layout.
-
VisualRoute here!!
:D
-
I just switched to comasts shity ass server becouse I was having this problem with at&t, now It looks like it just might be my area?
-
what Should I be pinging? each other?
-
Do a trace/ping to "shardname.owo.com" without the quotes.
e.g.
ping atlantic.owo.com
tracert drachenfels.owo.com
Comcast has also been known to throttle certain types of traffic, for example last year they were caught throttling BitTorrent. I'm not saying that this is the case but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were evil intentions at play with that suck-ass ISP!!

I'm not sure what to be looking for here.
-
My guess right there is that Sprint is BONING you...
-
can I do something about that?
what about firewall or router can I open a port?
-
You can't do much about it since the bottleneck is quite a ways downstream from your ISP. I guess you could bitch to your provider, but my guess is that they'll just laugh at you. So you just have your crappy ISP to blame for it. Any chance of switching? You're probably DSL, so it's likely you'll have similar troubles with other ones.
-
ya I had dsl from at&t, it seemed slow, I had the mediocre speed. so I switched to comcast cable and i'm still having issues.. piss'n me off.
-
I have a similar problem with Cox here in San Diego. I've just learned to live with it....
-
Your cousin has four fewer hops than you which basically means that, right out of the gate, his packets are 20% less interfered with.
There really isn't a whole lot that you can do about it unless you started establishing your own routing tables in house and directing your traffic through different devices but this would be an extreme pain to manage at best and there is no guarantee that you wouldn't find out that the bottleneck still stands between you and a main backbone before your route changes would make a difference.
In short, I agree with TM in that there really isn't a whole lot you can do; it comes down to the traffic, quality, and routing protocols at work on the network devices used by your ISP, then their ISP, then their ISP, and they'll tell two people, and they'll tell two people, and so on, and so on.... Maybe find a different shard or let go of playing a dueling mage if you do ;)
